i am loving my life right now..i wish i could open the figs tho..oh well tomorrow i am heading to KB to buy myself another set to open!

[Keno]

WOw that old van is just so.....so...... :-? im speechless, to see them compared like that side-to-side.....

so retro. i dont know. but cute :P

[BigThew]

i know that last pic is my favorite, just shows you how differnt this cartoon will be :D

[Ninja Tiptup]

So so? Bow to the might of the old VAN!!!!

[PanMan]

so the old van is the same size as the new one eh? that's good. so now i don't really NEED to get it (although i might if the conditions are right)

now all i need is to find them :(

[BigThew]

no it is bigger...about 3 inches longer and maybe 2 inches wider

i don't think the new figures would fit very well in the old

that sucks :(

but i guess as long as the top closes i'll be fine. :wink:

[beaker]

Wow, that does look sweet! I saw it for $20 at target, hmm just might have to get it now. Heh, I hadnt seen that old van and ages, but seeing it next to that new one, ack! Very primitive, heh. Though I will say from what Ive seen the old TMNT lair playset looks cooler than the new one.

[Reznorite420]

One of these days I'll get up off my butt and get a job..

[azure turtle]

Woah, sweet find, BigThew! Where did your dad buy the armored car? I've looked everywhere for it, and I can't seem to find it. Btw, I like how you placed the original Turtle Van next to the new one. I can't believe how much detail the new stuff has.

[PanMan]

one question . . . are the turtles shorter than shredder or are they the same size?

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

one question . . . are the turtles shorter than shredder or are they the same size?

They're a little shorter.

[tmntpower2003]

foot are a little shorter than shred then turtles shorter than foot splinter is the midget of the group w/ a knife that come outa his walking stick :lol:

[BigThew]

azure:...my dad found it at target, i am pretty sure all targets get the van, i was talking to some people in MO and they saw some at target

[The Master Foot Soldier]

I definatly need to complete my set of TMNT figures.

[PWDESAI]

how come you opened your vehicles and not your action figures :-?

[beaker]

I never understood the notion of not opening figures...theres ways of doing it so you can slip them back in without any noticeable damage to the packaging. Figures are meant to be displayed, not in a package. Especially at $8.50 a head, thats a lot of money if were talking doubles to be bought just to open a set. So yeah, theyre meant to be played with or displayed! hehe

[BigThew]

i opened my vehicles because i just needed to open something :D

i am keeping 2 sets...one to open one to keep in the packages...

the reason i keep them in the package is because they look great displayed and completely untouched, i want some to be displayed while the rest are out of the package, and i got my for 6 bucks a peice, that is 12 bucks for two figures...basically the same price i would pay for the McFarlane figures i buy, so it is really no loss

[HorseTechie]

It is quite funny, that even though all the Targets in my areas are clean sould out of 5" figures, they still have all the vehicles and RPG toys.

I got the Shell Cycle the other day, which is the only wehicle I'm going to get. But I have plans for this bike.. not only is it going to be taken out of box, it's also going to be repainted! No matter to me, cause I don't see it as being THAT valuable.

I do have a couple of the original release TMNT still MOC anyway... cause they are just too plain wierd to play with anyway (not to mention a little old!)

[Psycrow]

Man, the original van looks so cheap now that I look back on it.. :lol:

[Keno]

well I dont know, the scowling bumper IS kinda cute!

I bought one of the old vans at a garage sale last summer, it was totally worn and damaged but cute. It had a sticker on it that says "FOOT STINK!" i thought that was just the cutest thing EVER!

[azure turtle]

Hmm... Okay. Thanks for the info, dude!

[Jephael]

I wonder what happened to that guy who said he'd sell me one of his spare Turtle Vans. I e-mailed him twice and he never got back to me.

[Stone Ill]

I don't understand..what is "MOC"?

[HorseTechie]

Mint on Card :wink:

[Stone Ill]

And what does "Minto on Card" supposed to mean?

[BigThew]

never been opened with visably no bends or tears in the packaging or the cardboard backing

[Stone Ill]

Oh..ok..Why would you want it to be like that? Just open the damn things :lol:

[BigThew]

i think they look great in the packages...
so i bought 2 sets

[tmntpower2003]

same here, its the only way to go. But i will not buy 2 of all the vehicles.

[Stone Ill]

Only way to go? Why buy something and never open it and sell it 50 years later? You'd be lucky to still have them..Oh well, your choice.

Maybe I'm just saying this because I don't have much money?

[G_Whiz]

I just got back from the local Target where I picked up the Battle Shell,Shell Cycle, and another Foot Soldier. The Battle Shell is very sweet, highly recommended!

[avervisal]

My Target is taking forever to restock :|

But they are filled with vehicles and the RPG toys

[BigThew]

who is gonna sell my moc figures

i wont...i will pass them down to my kids, what they do with them when i die is up to them

i keep mine moc so i don't lose any weapons...but have a set of loose so i can play with them

[Snailman]

i don't think the new figures would fit very well in the old

Probably not, the new figures can barely sit down as it is, & since they are taller then the old ones it'd be kinda cramped in there.

Does the Battle Shell have any other openings on it, or just the roof?

-Snailman

[tmntpower2003]

yeah who said i am gonna sell my second set :evil: you just jellyish :lol:

[BigThew]

just one opening at the roof..it is hard to get them to sit down thouh..especially the driver...theyneed knee articulation

[azure turtle]

Y'mean the side door doesn't open?? That bites. :(

[Snailman]

just one opening at the roof..it is hard to get them to sit down thouh..especially the driver...theyneed knee articulation

Knee articulation, or re-positioned hip joints. They'd be able to sit if the joints moved front to back & matched the legs. Like, look at the foot soldier- that guy can NEVER sit down, but Shredder can sit easily. ::shrugs::

Sucks about the roof only opening, it'd be cool if the side door opened like on the Turtle Van- minus the flip-out thingy that the turtle's sat on.

-Snailman

yeah, mine broke and now it is taped together on the hinge and i never open it 'cause i don't want to break it again :(

[Snailman]

Ouch, that sucks dude. It would flip open when ever the roof would be opened I think, but it was a fragile piece of plastic that could easily be broken if bent in the wrong way.
Can you still open the roof to put the figures inside? :-?
